(4894) TaliesinNYC: Recap: (3550) Mesaj al-Jabari ibn Huruq'a, of the Eternal Spire of
Ice and Steel: "My name, O Pharoah Who Sits in Judgment Over
the Unfaithful, is Mesaj al-Jabari ibh Huruq'a, of the Eternal Spire of Ice and
Steel. I live but to serve the wants and needs of the Goddess."
** (3550) Mesaj turns to Git and bows low. "Long have I pined over my
station that I must serve the Goddess, O Most Noble and Esteemed Prince! These
fiends are the greatest foes imprisoned by the Goddess and deserve her
wrath!" **
(3567) Git: "Yes, but specifically, who are they?"
(3550) Mesaj: "There is a troll whose name is not important. A mindless creature who seeks nothing but food and
destruction."
(3550) Mesaj: "An eater-of-thoughts, which you would do well to leave well
enough alone."
** (3572) Agatha exchanges a glance with Kha. **
(3550) Mesaj: "A tribe of wise ones who have been suitably punished by the
Goddess for daring to steal knowledge from her sanctuary."
(3560) Kha: "You serve this Goddess willingly? Oh the eater of thoughts,
we need to talk to him."
(3568) Berard: "How did a master of the winds such as yourself
come to serve in this place, far from the open skies?"
(3550) Mesaj: "This insignificant spirit lives to serve the will of the
Goddess!"
(3550) Mesaj: "I am but an unworthy servant of the Goddess who reigns over
all. She summoned me and bound me to her service." (bows
to Berard)** (3550) Mesaj apologoizes profusely to Kha. "I
beg of you, O Esteemed and Most Noble Personage, not to talk to the
eater-of-thoughts, lest I prevent you by injuring you. Such is my duty!" **
(3568) Berard: "And, if I may be so bold as to inquire, what are the terms
of your diligent service?"
(3560) Kha: "Can we free you of her service?"
(3550) Mesaj: "Should you find it within yourself to slay the Goddess,
then I will be freed of my servitude."
(3550) Mesaj: "But I am an unworthy spirit."
(3572) Agatha: "Slay Talakara? Oh there's a rosy thought."
** (3550) Mesaj flies over to a sealed pair of double doors that leads out of
the chamber and interposes himself between them and you. **
(3560) Kha: "Noone deserves to be bound into service. Where is
Talakara?"
(3567) Git: "Ok..what
if you talk to him for us?"
(3567) Git: "Is that against your orders?
(3550) Mesaj: "Within her sanctuary, high above this place. It is not
given for me, this insignifcant spirit to know of where Her Grace does
reign."
(3550) Mesaj: "I....I suppose I can."
(3567) Git: "Great" :looks to Kha: "Ask
away."
** (3560) Kha nods "Ask the thought eater if he knows" ** looks to
Agatha ** "Whats your sons name?" **
(3572) Agatha: "What?! What makes you think this thing knows a scrap about
my boy?"
** (3550) Mesaj unlocks the double doors reluctantly as he glances suspiciously
at you. **
(3550) DM: It seems to be the first time that he's lost his fawning demeanor,
though in a flash, it returns swiftly.
** (3560) Kha waits where he is, not wanting to provoke the Djann **
(3560) Kha: "Just a guess Agatha, whats his name?"
(3572) Agatha: "You're asking me to put my faith in a damned
thought-eater? I don't even know what a thought-eater is!"
(3560) Kha: "Dont care what one is. What can it hurt to ask?"
(3572) Agatha: "I've got a better question first. Does the thought-eater
know where we might find a dead knight, a high-ranking servant to the
Goddess?"
(3560) Kha: "That works as well."
(3550) DM: The djann floats inside the gaol chamber and heads over to a locked
door that has a single barred window in it.
(3550) DM: Mesaj turns around expectantly.
** (3572) Agatha looks at the djann "Well? Go ahead at the godforsaken
thing if it knows anything about a high-ranking dead knight that serves the
goddess. Ask if it knows where the knight resides." **
(3572) Agatha: ((go ahead and ask the*))
** (3550) Mesaj floats over to the barred window and whispers inside. **
(3550) DM: The djann looks at you slyly and exclaims, "O Most Noble and
Esteemed Personages! The eater-of-thoughts appears to be asleep."
(3550) Mesaj: "It is most definitely asleep."
(3568) Berard: :quietly to the others: "Do we
have specific business with this eater-of-thoughts?"
** (3550) Mesaj peers into the barred window and recoils ever so silgihtly, a
look of thinly veiled disgust ingrained on his handsome face. **
** (3572) Agatha whispers back. "Only Kha it seems. I'd rather have
nothing to do with it. If it can eat thoughts, then it must also read them to
see what it's eating, right?" **
(3572) Agatha: "It's bad enough the djann knows. It's bound to report us
to the Goddess when called on. Mesaj has no choice."
** (3560) Kha shrugs "If he eats thoughts, I figure he might remember
those thoughts." **
(3568) Berard: "Then I suggest we leave the djinn to his duties and return
once our other errands have been accomplished. Right now, the djinn has no
reason to volunteer any information..."
** (3560) Kha looks to Mesaj "Oh well guess you dont have to wake him,
mind if we use the stairs here?" **
(3550) Mesaj: "By all means, O Most Esteemed and Noble Lion of Tomorrow!"
(3550) DM: Two archways can be seen, each leading to a circular chamber. Within
each, to the north and to the south can be seen a flight of spiral stairs
leading up.
** (3560) Kha enters the room and heads over to the (( [1d2]
=> [2] = (2) => [1] => 1 = (1) 1 stairs to 22, 2
to 22a )) **
** (3560) Kha starts up the stairs **
** (3568) Berard bows to the djinn. "Perhaps someday we shall meet again,
spirit of the air, when you are once more at liberty. Until
then, good day." **
** (3572) Agatha stops before she follows the others. "Mesaj, how long
have you served the Goddess?" **
(3550) Mesaj: "Time has no meaning to me, O Most Esteemed Lioness of
Tomorrow!"
(3550) Mesaj: "I live but to serve She Who Reigns Over
All!"
** (3560) Kha looks around the room the stairs let out on **
(3550) DM: The stairs ascend into darkness. Shadows shroud the passage.
(3550) DM: There is a landing halfway up and an archway that looks out into a
circular chamber. A door stands closed in one wall. Skeletons stand at the
ready, armed with bows in front of arrow slits. They do not appear to notice
you yet...
(3550) DM: (3 skeletons)
(3572) Agatha: "Hmm. We'll have to fix that, but I'm afraid not today. Be
well, djann. Tell no one of our passing, as far as it is in your power."
** (3572) Agatha rushes upstairs to catch up with the others. **
** (3567) Git follows up after Aggy **

be the inner ward of Caer Thorne. The courtyard is paved and roughly triangular
in shape, with a tower at the opposite corners and the gatehouse behind you at
another. There is a long wooden structure leaning against the inner curtain
wall to your left. The huge keep looms up in front of you, behind some
forebuildings. The only apparent access to the keep seems to be through a set
of double doors in the wall, 100' across the yard.** (4900) Agatha remains back, giving Git room to
work. She uses the time to scan the skies and walls instead. **(4894) DM: The battlements, 20' up are

the cord and just follows Kha down the path. **** (4924) Kha stops and looks at the outline of a man "Hello." **(4938) Voice: "Welcome, adventurers."(4938) DM: The creature of darkness beckons to
you.(4902) Git: "Hello, strange shadowy
figure."(4938) Voice: "My master is expecting you.
Please follow me, and stay on the path."** (4924) Kha shrugs and follows **(4924) Kha: "Are you the one who send
the wonderfull invetation of black roses?"** (4900) Agatha pauses a moment, but then follows
Kha. **(4923) Berard: "This can't possibly go
well."(4938) Voice: "My master serves the lord of
Caer Thorne. He sent you the roses."(4902) Git: "And you are..?"(4924) Kha: "Ahh good."(4938) DM: The shadow turns to you and peers at
you, its' crimson eyes narrowed to mere slits.(4938) Voice: "I am but a humble servant.
My name, such as it is, is not important."(4902) Git: "That's hardly fair. You
know our names, I assume, but we don't know yours."(4938) The shadow: "I
was told to expect you. I am but a mere servant under the lord of the
Keep."(4934) Dave (exit): 00:30(4938) TaliesinNYC: Booting '(4895) Dave' from
room...(4895) Dave (exit): 00:31(4902) Git: "Right then..lead the way, please."** (4938) The shadow turns to lead the way, and stops
in front of a door covered in frescoes that depict the Day of Judgment in Kern,
by the goddess Talakara. **** (4938) The shadow bows
deeply in front of Git. "Please enter and may the Goddess be with you in
your secret heart of hearts." **(4902) Git: :grins: "I only have one
heart.. and she's not invited."** (4924) Kha heads though the door **** (4902) Git heads in after Kha(the
guinea pig) **** (4923) Berard stays within 10' of Git. **** (4900) Agatha takes the rear position. **(4941) No Name (enter): 00:38(4938) The shadow: The walls of the chamber
beyond are garishly decorated with frescoes depicting the generosity of the
goddess Talakara in judging the people of Kern, either with mercy or with
righteous fire. A tall, svelte, blonde woman with wide blue eyes sits behind a desk
covered with neatly stacked papers and a large book. She looks up at you and
smiles broadly, winking lascvicously at Git.(4938) The shadow: She
appears to be dressed in a short black dress and stockings. Something clanks
around her neck but you're unable to determine what it is at this distance.(4924) Kha: "Hello."** (4902) Git raises a brow at the woman, whispering
to Kha: "You're undead knight is prettier than I thought he'd be." **(4938) DM: (whoops)** (4924) Kha laughs at Git **(4938) Angelica: "Greetings, and welcome to
Caer Thorne."(4938) Angelica: "My my, what broad
shoulders you have." (looks appraisingly at Kha
and winks)(4902) Git: "Yes..it's a pleasure to be here." :makes his way
casully toward the desk, trying to catch a glimpse at what is around her neck.:
"And you are...?"(4938) DM: She ignores Agatha thoroughly,
instead gazing at Berard with undisguised longing while surreptitiously looking
at him up and down as if appraising a side of beef.** (4924) Kha raises one eyebrow, then diggs into his
pack and pulls out one of the black roses and tosses it to Angelica "Thank you for the oh so plesant invatation." **** (4900) Agatha glares at the woman. **(4938) Angelica: "My name is Angelica, but
you can just call me Angel." (smiles sweetly at
Git, making sure to show more cleavage in her dress)** (4923) Berard frowns disapprovingly **(4938) DM: A faint flash of silver gleams in the
chamber's light.(4902) Git: :returns a mild grin: "Well.. Angel... would you be the one
who invited us?"** (4938) Angelica glances at the
rose and winks at Kha. "There are
more where those came from." She sighs with an adoring look at Berard.
"What can I do for you?" (breathlessly) **(4924) Kha: "I know, thats one I picked
from downstairs. I burned the other two I recived."(4938) DM: She turns to Git and croons softly,
"I? I serve the Goddess with humility. My master summoned you to Caer
Thorne. He sent the roses."(4902) Git: "Ah..and you are.. the
receptionist then?"(4924) Kha: "Well then send us to your
master and stop wasting out time."** (4938) Angelica nods at Git. "Why yes,
indeed." (lets slip a flash of breast)
"Won't you like some tea? Or me?" **whispering to Lunauc, spot(4902) Git: :lets slip a slight chuckle,
"I'm afraid we don't have th time just now, Angel, may we see your Master
first?"(4902) Git: Spot Skill Check: [1d20+9]
=> [10,9] = (19) (4938) DM: She pouts, a slight frown crossing
her face.(4902) Git: :leans in to whisper: "My friend's are getting rather
frustrated I'm afraid."(4938) Angelica: "I'm VERY good, I assure
you. I am well versed in the Eightfold Dance of Manifold Pleasures and a
well-trained sword dancer in my time."(4938) Angelica: "Oh her? What does she
know of the art of pleasure?" (jerks her hand at Agatha) whispering to Lunauc, She seems to be wearing a
necklace from which hang three keys -- two small and one large, gem encrusted
key.** (4900) Agatha continues to glare at Angelica,
obviously not amused. **(4902) Git: :archs a brow: "Well... I
do hope I get an opportunity to test your skills. But I'm afraid Lady Agatha is
not the only one lacking humor at the moment. I hope a cultured Lady like your
self will understand."** (4938) Angelica laughs coquettishly. "I'm
sure I could talk to a friend of mine who might teach an old
dog new tricks." **(4938) DM: She sighs with thinly veiled desire,
then glances up and down at Kha. "So manly..."** (4938) Angelica thrusts a large leatherbound book
at Kha and opens it to a crisp, unadorned page. "Please....sign
here." **** (4924) Kha flips back a page before signing it **(4938) DM: There are rows and rows of names,
each crossed out/(4938) Angelica: "Oh those? They were tried
by my master. They tried and failed, and died."** (4924) Kha flips back to the page she opened it to
and signs the top of the page **(4938) Angelica: "You are strong, and
powerful and have risked much to come here. You will not fail me." (sighs)(4902) Git: "Fail you...? You have some
personal stake in this matter?"** (4938) Angelica glances around her fearfully, as
if someone might overhear her, then looks at Git. Whatever momentary self-doubt
might have crossed her mind is gone now. "Oh, did I say that? I meant you
are the bravest I have met." **(4902) Git: "I see.. so...
are you a servant of Talakara as well? Or simply the servant
of your master?"(4938) Angelica: "I...serve the Goddess in
all her glory." (winks at Git)(4902) Git: :grins: "And I'd love to see that."(4902) Git: Sense Motive Skill Check: [1d20+6]
=> [4,6] = (10) (4902) Git: "So.. your
Master makes a habit of inviting warriors to come challenge him?"(4924) Kha: (( AFK
for a smoke ))(4900) Agatha: (( sounds good, while Git
'chats up' the secretary. ))(4938) Angelica: "He summons those who have
the means and the will to defeat him, ays."(4938) Angelica: "You are famed throughout
the land for having defeated a vizier of fire and flame."(4902) Git: "Dangerous hobby.He must be
very confident."(4938) Angelica: "If in fact you are the
same heroes the bards speak of."(4938) Angelica: "None who have come to
Caer Thorne have yet defeated him." (seems as if
she is about to smother Git in her bodice and leans back)(4902) Git: "Hmmm... guess he's reached
that point in his undead life where other less lethal practices lose their
appeal." :hooks an arm around her waist: "No
wonder such lovely assistant is left wanting. I'm sorry for your plight."** (4902) Git stares down her cleavage unveiled(and considering stealing her keys) **** (4900) Agatha alters her glare back and forth
between Angelica and Git. **(4902) Git: "So.. where
is Old Wrinkly now?"** (4938) Angelica offers the book to Agatha, while
speaking to Git. "Well, if you like, we could retire to my chambers."
**** (4900) Agatha looks down at the book and signs her
name under Kha's. **(4902) Git: :smiles brightly: "If I
survive this meeting with your Master, it should be an interesting
celebration."** (4938) Angelica offers the book to Berard.
"Oh! I concur most certainly." **** (4938) Angelica smiles and nods eagerly. **(4938) DM: ((and I'm fading, not to mention it's
almost time for me to call it tonight since I need to get up in 6 hours.))** (4923) Berard scrawls something vaguely name-like
in the book. **(4902) Git: "What do you know? Found a
reason to fight him after all."
